THANKS! as

Thanks, sound advice. I'll see if I can cross a a Fram Ultra filter, go 250 with the T6. Maybe get some Delvac 1 and go longer after a year, 400ish hours.

The L sure is good for snow removal though. Ha! I made a 9 hole golf course one year, in a foot of snow. 75-150 yard holes about 15-20' wide. With a skid steer. Took me a week. Big fun that week.

I will, thank you! Didn't see it at Walmart, though. They did have T6 5w40.

2.5 gallons. Sure is expensive, $65,000. 12' self contained rough mower for golf turf. 7 22" hydraulically driven mowing decks. Pretty cool piece of machinery.

Owner manual said 400 hours. Rotella T6?

Recommendations for long change interval synthetic cj-4 oil? Thanks

Interesting. Here's a paper that suggests a correlation between oil aging and IVD...

Different worldview than most.

I want to offer a hearty thank you to everyone involved here. Since I found BITOG (can't do this without an acronym), I am more knowledgeable about automotive engines and am more equipped to care for my vehicle. Joel

There you go with a logical progression...

During the winter, I drive short distances with periods in between starts. The engine rarely gets to normal operating temperature. I would like to minimize wear on my new 1 litre ecoboost. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Joel

The turbo and oil film strength, that's why I was thinking about the mix. And, attached boy, be your own boss!

Over think, I do that. Thanks for the help, I will not be doing that. PP it is.

Was reading about group V benefits and drawbacks. I wondered about mixing Redline and PP in my 1 litre ecoboost. New car, do NOT want to damage the engine. Thanks in advance for your input.

Thanks. Much to consider. You all are a kind and gracious group to take the time for helping me!

Mine is being manufactured at the end of March, 6 more weeks to get to me! Bugs me. Are you doing an owners manual break in, or are you doing something a bit firmer?

Thanks to all! There certainly seems to be a consensus that I can go to a bit longer OCI. I have an '04 Focus that I purchased new that has 187,000 now. It has been trouble free and I have a list of buyers waiting for it when the Fiesta arrives, among them, a service tech and salesman at the...
